Fri May 02 13:53:07 UTC 2025: ## Trump Threatens to Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status
**Washington, D.C. – May 2, 2025** – U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday his intention to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status. This latest action is part of a broader crackdown on elite American universities, which Trump alleges are infected with antisemitic, anti-American, Marxist, and radical left ideologies.
The president made the announcement via a post on his social media platform, stating that Harvard “deserves” to lose its tax-exempt status, but offered no specifics on the timing of the action. Harvard representatives have yet to respond to the president’s statement.
This move follows a series of actions taken by the Trump administration against major U.S. universities since January, including freezing federal funding, launching investigations, revoking student visas, and imposing other demands. Harvard has actively resisted these measures, filing lawsuits over halted research funding and joining over 200 university presidents in protesting the administration’s policies.
